UNIVERSITY OF LOUISIANA @ LAFAYETTE
Louisiana State University (LSU) Freshman Admission Requirements
LSU admissions has taken a holistic approach. This means that every student who applies will be considered. Students who meet the following criteria should have guaranteed admission once all application requirements are received.
There are three factors that will be initially considered for admission to LSU.
Incoming freshman must have at least a 3.0 academic gpa calculated from academic core courses.
Students must also have completed at least 19 units of new Fall 2012 college-preparatory courses.
Applicants must have a minimum of SAT score (critical reading and math) of 1030 or at least a composite ACT score of 22.
Beginning this Fall (2018) students must complete an application to LSU using the Common Application. A letter of recommendation is required for all students.
LSU does not require completion of the writing section on the ACT or SAT for general admission. However, students interested in being considered for admission to the LSU Honors College must submit writing scores.
Students not meeting the above requirements for automatic admission are still encouraged to apply. We can take other factors into account to predict your potential for success at LSU. Some of these factors may include: choice of degree program, rank in class, credit in advanced placement or honors courses, rigor of the high school curriculum, grade trends, extracurricular activities, and letters of recommendation. If you would like to appeal a decision, please contact our staff. We want to work with you to do everything possible to see you become part of the LSU family.
The Louisiana Board of Regents’ has established minimum admission standards for students seeking regular admission as freshmen to LSU, the flagship university. The Board of Regents requires: completion of the Louisiana Core 4 high school curriculum (or equivalent, for non-Louisiana high schools); and attain a 3.0 core gpa or a 25 ACT/1130 SAT. Students who meet LSU’s core requirements also meet the Board of Regents’ minimum standard.
The Application Process…………………………………………...
Before a college or university will grant you admission, they want to learn as
much about you as possible. Every college has certain admission requirements that you
must meet to be accepted. Depending on which schools you are applying to, you will need
to submit the following items.
An application for admission – Apply online. See College Directory for website
information or search the web.
ACT or SAT scores – When applying to take the ACT or SAT you can request for
your scores to be forwarded to any college. If you have not done so, visit their website
at www.actstudent.org and follow the link for sending scores. To register for the ACT
go to www.actstudent.org. You should include the H.S. Code (191-421) and TOPS
code (1595) along with any college you choose to send your scores to.
Official High School Transcript – Once you complete and submit your online
application, you have given the college or university permission to access your
transcript from the Louisiana State Department of Education. If you need to request a
copy of your transcript for any other reason, please see Mrs. Lori Beslin, the
regristrar, in the guidance office. Transcripts are sealed “official” only if we mail it
directly from the guidance office. All other request are marked “unofficial”.
Inquire about Scholarships offered by the University/College-During the admission
process, you should also inquire about scholarships from the University. The
application should be available online. Watch for deadlines and remember, most
colleges will not offer you a scholarship if you have not applied for admission.

Types of Schools……………………………………………………
Start your college search by recognizing the many different types of colleges.
Students usually do not consider this before submitting their applications. Although most
students go to a four-year college or university, you should at least consider other
alternatives. You may find that another type can best fit your needs.
Universities
Universities offer many degree programs
and have many colleges within the
university structure. Check the catalog
to decide what each college within the
university offers and what the admission
procedure is for each. Large universities
can generally offer a more
comprehensive curriculum.
Colleges
Colleges are divided by departments and
usually offer one or two degrees
(Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science)
in many academic disciplines. This
would include a major in Departments
such as Math, English, Literature,
Science, Foreign Languages, Politics,
History or Electrical Engineering. There
are various types of colleges (liberal
arts, technological, military, education)
that have smaller enrollment than most
universities and offer fewer degrees.
Most offer graduate degrees.
Junior College/Community College
These colleges offer associate degree
programs (two-year degree) or transfer
programs. Transfer programs are for
students who are not ready for a four-
year college/university, but would like to
enroll in college. Students begin classes
at the community college and then
transfer to a four-year college once they
have established good academic
standing.
Technical College
A technical college offers students
opportunities to become trained and
licensed in various trades. They offer
programs such as: automotive
technology, electronics, nursing,
computer technology, aeronautics and
much more. Technical colleges also offer
job placement programs.
Visiting Colleges……………………………………………………
It is a good idea to visit each college that you are considering. Tour the campus,
attend an activity, but most importantly, talk with students.
The admissions office at most universities can arrange a visit for you. Remember,
you are not only choosing a place to go to school, but a home for the next four years.
Several colleges host “Senior Day” on their campus. Visit their websites to learn
more about these activities.
Questions to ask during your visit:
Are there adequate facilities for the department of your major interest?
What is the class size?
How near is the campus to the local community?
Is the campus clean and orderly?
What are the dormitories like?
Where to students dine? What about meal tickets?
Are there fraternity/sorority houses? What percent of students belong?
Are their religious organizations to suit your purposes?
How are the athletic facilities?
What are the financial aid opportunities?
What clubs and student groups are available?
What are the traditions of the college?
What percentage of the freshman class graduates in four years?
Self Assessment……………………………………………………
When considering your future plans (college, work, military or trade school) it is
important to know the following: your interest and abilities, dreams and goals, and
reasons for your choices.
Your life-style is based on those values most important to you. The way you live,
dress, and work reflects your lifestyle. Take a minute to picture yourself in any job you
desire. Does it match your lifestyle?
Check of the phrases listed below that describes you:
Be cheerful all the time
Have a lot of leisure time
Spend time outdoors
Have things planned
Have freedom of choice
Do a variety of things
Be organized
Have a lot of money
Have enough money for comfort
Be in charge
Be very active
Be creative
Spend time alone
Write down other things that are important to you. Consider all these factors when
choosing your future plans. College? Work? Military? Trade School? Other?
Scholarships………………………………………………………..
A scholarship is a monetary award granted on the basis of outstanding achievement.
Scholarships are typically awarded for achievement in academics, leadership, athletics,
community service, student talent, ethnic background, standardized test scores and essay
writing ability.
How to obtain information about scholarships:
Any scholarship information that is received through the guidance office will be
announced through the school’s morning announcements and will be posted on the
TCHS website. If only a hard copy of the scholarship is available, then students can
pick them up in the Guidance Office lobby.
Scholarship awards are offered directly through the colleges and universities. Each
institution has different procedures and requirements. When applying for admission
into a school, students should inquire about applying for academic scholarships.
Examples:
UL Lafayette: Students who apply for admission to UL Lafayette will be
considered for a scholarship. To receive a scholarship, students must have earned a
24 ACT composite by January 31st and have a 3.0 GPA. Students with an ACT of 28
should apply for admission by November 15th for first consideration.
LSU: Students who apply for admissions into LSU can be considered for a
scholarship based on their ACT or SAT score, academic record and other
related criteria. To be considered, students must complete and submit an
admissions application by November 15th. All students who apply to LSU by
this deadline will be considered for a scholarship. No separate application
is required.
Several companies and organizations throughout the United States send information
to schools about opportunities to compete for scholarships. (Coca Cola, Target, Wal-
Mart, etc…)
Local organizations also afford students the opportunity to compete for scholarship
awards. (Slemco, Lafayette General, Knights of Columbus, Sororities, etc…)
While some organizations allow all students to apply, others have specific criteria.
For example, ACT composite of 24 or better and a 3.0 g.p.a.
Athletic scholarships are filtered through the athletic department. Any student who is
interested in playing a sport in college must register with the NCAA Clearinghouse.
All athletes should go to www.eligbilitycenter.org to apply.

Financial Aid………………………………………………………
Financial Aid is the term used to describe the various options available to help
students and their families finance a college education. A Financial Aid package is the
combination of funds needed to make up the difference between a college’s cost and the
amount you and your family can afford. This package may include grants, low interest
loans, and work/study funds.
Colleges and universities across the nation have agreed on how to determine
what you and your family can reasonably afford to pay for you education. The (FAFSA)
Free Application for Federal Student Aid is completed by you and your parents.
Information about your families’ financial situation will be requested. The forms are sent
to a processing center where it is determined how much your family can contribute
toward your education. Your information will be sent to the Louisiana State Office where
you may be eligible for programs offered by the state, including TOPS.
The college you are considering will then determine both your financial need and
how to close the gap between its total cost and your family contribution.
Students apply online for the FAFSA at www.fafsa.ed.gov.
Seniors can begin their FAFSA application
October 1st
Standardized Test…………………………………………………..
The American College Testing Program (ACT) and the Scholastic Aptitude Test provide
colleges with a common measure of student’s abilities. Taking these exams is the initial
step in the college application process. Most students will have taken the ACT or SAT at
least once prior to their senior year. I recommend that seniors that the ACT or SAT
during early fall and continue to take it until they are satisfied. There are courses, books,
and software available to assist in preparing students for the exams. More information
can be obtained from the guidance office. Remember that Teurlings Catholic High School
is a testing center. Testing is available on our campus for the October, February and
April test dates.
Test taking tips:
Awake early on the day of the test so that you will have ample time to dress, eat, and
get to the test center in a leisurely manner.
Eat a good breakfast.
Bring along the following items:
Your test center admission ticket
Your driver’s license or school I.D.
#2 pencils
A calculator (refer to ACT regulations)
A watch so that you can pace yourself
A snack to eat at break
Arrive at least 30 minutes before the examination is scheduled to begin.
